And he, the great Tom Brady, was outplayed by rival quarterback Nick Foles - who is not even the Eagles No1 quarterback.

Brady was outplayed and beaten by Eagles backup quarterback Nick Foles, who was preparing to quit a few years ago. Now, he’s become the MVP winner, after what many believe was the greatest Super Bowl of all time
